Who are we?

We are the Ignace Community Nuclear Liaison Committee (ICNLC) established by Ignace Municipal Council in November 2011. Our objective is to help the people of Ignace learn about Canada’s plan for used nuclear fuel and involve Ignace residents in these learning activities.

We meet on a monthly basis, and the minutes and agendas for our meetings are published here. Our meetings are open to all those who are interested.

ICNLC members were selected through an open process. Your ICNLC members are:

Members of the ICNLC

Lee Kennard
Lee Grew up in Plaster Rock New Brunswick and moved to Ignace in 1976 where he was employed by Great West Timber and Great Lakes Paper up until 1982. Lee then decided to go into business for himself and owned and operated Elk Timber up to 1996. Lee then owned and operated Elk Construction until he retired and sold the business in 2008.
Lee decided he was not cut out for retirement, so together with his wife Margaret, they purchased Gramma’s Grocery Store in Ignace and have been operating it for the past four years. He was elected as Mayor of Ignace in 2010 and will always work to help ensure the well- being of the community is achieved.
